SMART FLIP OPERATION FOR GROUPED OBJECTS

摘要

Technologies are described to provide smart flipping of groups of objects. According to some examples, a graphics module within an application may determine whether an object within a group of objects to be flipped is flippable, that is can be flipped without resulting in loss of object context after the flip operation. Then, the graphics module may flip the group of objects translating all objects (moving their locations to appropriate new locations based on the flip operation), flipping the Objects that can be flipped, and not flipping the object deemed not flippable, thereby preserving the displayed context of the object.

主权项

1. A computing device to provide smart flip operations for grouped objects, the computing device comprising:
a memory; one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors executing an application in conjunction with instructions stored in the memory, wherein the application includes:
a document processing module configured to:
process a document that includes one or more objects; anda graphics module configured to:
receive a request to perform a flip operation for selected objects within the document;determine one of the selected objects to be not flippable, wherein an object is not flippable if a displayed context of the object is lost after the flip operation;perform the flip operation by translating locations of the selected objects around a flip axis, not mirroring the object deemed not to be flippable, and minoring remaining objects of the selected objects; anddisplay the selected objects with the flip operation performed.
